Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The Voice revealed its Top 5 Tuesday night.

And by the time the dust settled, Michael Buble was the only coach with two artists in the finale.

The same Michael Buble who struggled to fill his team during the blind auditions. The same Michael Buble who failed to lure a single three- or four-chair turn to his team all season.

Jadyn Cree from his team — daughter of former finalist Bryan Olesen — was voted into the finale. Then Adam David, who turned just a single chair with his audition, nabbed the instant save at the end of the show.

Also voted into the finale were Renzo of Team Legend, Lucia Flores-Wiseman of Team Adam and Jaelen Johnston of Team Kelsea.

Thanks to the Super Save which allowed each coach to invite back one eliminated contestant, 12 singers performed in Monday night’s semifinals.

The top four vote-getters automatically advanced to the finale. The lowest four — Kolby Cordell, Alanna Lynise, Kaiya Hamilton and Conor James — were automatically eliminated.

That left four singers — Adam David, Iris Herrera, Bryson Battle and Oliver Kuper-Harris — to compete for the fifth and final spot in next Monday’s performance finale.

Here’s how the save performances went down.

Olivia Kuper-Harris (Team Legend), “Rainbow” by Kacey Musgraves: Olivia’s breathless approach to this vocal was way, way overdone. It would have been effective used in spots. She did it through the entire song. Nerves might have been a factor. Olivia usually sounds much better than she did here. Grade: B–

Adam David (Team Michael), “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims: This song has become a singing show staple for soulful singers and it’s a really nice match for Adam’s voice. Frankly, I don’t know why this wasn’t his Monday night song choice. He seemed to lose control of the vocal a bit near the end, but that kind of impassioned performance is what this moment called for. Grade: B+

Iris Herrera (Team Kelsea), “Rocket Man” by Elton John: Iris is my favorite of this quartet thanks to her unique tone. But this is a classic example of why song choice is so important. She spent the last half of the performance trying to create vocal moments rather than choosing a song where she simply needed to execute them. And wound up sounding like she was oversinging. Grade: B–

Bryson Battle (Team Legend), “Talking to the Moon” by Bruno Mars: Bryson is the best pure vocalist of this quartet. But this was overbaked, packed with too many frills and not nearly enough emotion. I can understand the temptation to show everything you can do vocally in an instant save scenario, but that fell far short of the performance Bryson turned in Monday night. Grade: C+

Bottom line: Adam David had by far the best song for the situation. He executed it well. And is finals-bound because of it.
